Did you check the size without the # comments?

I went back to your old config and I could not reproduce it. But I'll try
again with a new kernel rpm, and do the following:

# rpm -Uvh <some new kernel>
# reboot # to that new kernel
$ git clone <latest-linus.git> linus.git
$ cd linus.git
$ make localyesconfig

and see what happens. Is this a good test for you?

Thanks,
